Overview
We are seeking an experienced Marketing Project Manager to join a dynamic marketing team and oversee a variety of marketing campaigns, initiatives, events, webinars, and tactical marketing requests. This person will serve as a key partner to marketing stakeholders, creative teams, and cross-functional partners, ensuring projects are well planned, properly scoped, and delivered on time. The ideal candidate is a seasoned, highly organized marketing project manager who understands how marketing teams operate and can confidently manage both proactive campaigns and day-to-day marketing requests. Experience supporting live events and webinars is highly valued, as is the ability to anticipate project needs and proactively guide stakeholders through requirements they may not have considered. This is not a role focused solely on responding to incoming requests. We are looking for someone who can think ahead, ask the right questions, identify potential gaps early, and proactively manage stakeholders and project teams to prevent issues before they occur.

Stakeholder Communication & Proactive Partnership
- Serve as a trusted project partner and primary point of contact for stakeholders across the organization.

- Provide clear project updates, communicate changes or risks, and keep stakeholders informed throughout the process.

- Experience working closely with marketing teams on both in-person events and webinars is highly preferred.
Marketing & Creative Coordination
- Work closely with creative, content, digital, advertising, and other marketing specialists to translate business objectives into actionable project plans.
- Coordinate design, content, advertising, website, social media, white paper, presentation, and other marketing deliverables.
- Understand marketing tactics and best practices well enough to effectively scope projects and communicate requirements to subject-matter experts.
- Bring an eye for design and the ability to effectively specify and communicate creative needs to designers and other creative partners.
- Review completed work to ensure it meets project objectives, brand standards, and stakeholder requirements.
Project Reporting & Performance

- Develop status reports, project updates, presentations, and other project documentation.
- Track project outcomes and campaign performance and help quantify results and insights.
- Pull and synthesize information from multiple systems and data sources as needed.

Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a seasoned marketing project manager and true utility player who can wear many hats and jump into whatever is needed to make a project successful. They are highly organized, proactive, technically comfortable, and confident communicating with stakeholders. Most importantly, this person thinks ahead. They don't simply take a request and execute it-they understand the broader marketing objective, ask the questions that stakeholders may not think to ask, identify missing requirements, and make sure the team is prepared before a project reaches a critical deadline. Someone who has worked closely with marketing teams and has experience with events and webinars, while also managing day-to-day marketing requests and creative projects, would be an especially strong fit.
Schedule & Engagement
- 30-40 hours per week, with workload expected to ebb and flow based on business needs.
- Workload is expected to be heavier during conference seasons and major campaigns, with potential flexibility during slower periods.
- Ongoing opportunity; hours may fluctuate based on project volume.
- Central or Eastern Time Zone preferred to facilitate stakeholder communication.
- This is an urgent need, and the team would like to move quickly with the right candidate.
